excel - How to check in another table if an agency is in a specific region -


there many travel agencies each code of 3 characters in column. want know if travel agency in atlantic canada. can list of codes corresponding travel agencies in atlantic canada database , put them in single column in worksheet in same excel file, i'm not sure of exact syntax writing if ...lookup or if there better excel formula/technique.

if codes in d2:d68 in example, want column e (e2:e68) if value in column d corresponds 1 of lengthy list of codes. column e display yes/no or true/false or similar.

i've been looking @ various tutorials. don't want anything, want yes/no or true/false three-character code 1 of, or not 1 of, many atlantic canada codes.

suggestions?

if reference list in in columna of sheet 2, try =vlookup(d2,sheet2!a:a,1,false) in e2 copied down required. adapted show true/false identification purposes code repeat seems adequate. false accept match when exact (true allow approximate matches - ie similar not correct). ones not match display#name?

edit

for t/f results
=iferror(if(match(d1,'atlantic canada codes'!a:a,0)>0,"true","false"),"false")
should work (though less inelegant seems possible!)

edit re apparent inconsistency in formulae results mentioned in comment

  • =trim() (worksheet) , trim (vba) behave differently.
  • =match , =v / h lookup() may behave differently according whether exact or otherwise.
  • a space character may ‘normal’ (7-bit ascii code 32) or non-breaking (&nbsp code 160).

rather cover these combinations, simplified (so far complete) explanation ‘extra’ spaces problem, trailing ones, apply =trim() both data looked (ie key) , @ least part of array (the keys) relate required results.

it possible apparent inconsistency mentioned in comment arose because something+space not matching something , in removing +space something+space same applied somethingelse+space. hence before =trim() somethingesle+space matching somethingelse+space after somethingelse no longer matching somethingelse+space.

that problem switched 'surplus' spaces in 1 list 'surplus' spaces in other. either have these spaces in neither, or if must, in both.

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).

javascript - Clean way to programmatically use CSS transitions from JS? -

as title implies, there proper way set initial css properties (or class) , tell browser transition these value? for example ( fiddle ): var el = document.queryselector('div'), st = el.style; st.opacity = 0; st.transition = 'opacity 2s'; st.opacity = 1; this not animate opacity of element in chrome 29/firefox 23. because ( source ): [...] you’ll find if apply both sets of properties, 1 after other, browser tries optimize property changes, ignoring initial properties , preventing transition. behind scenes, browsers batch property changes before painting which, while speeding rendering, can have adverse affects. the solution force redraw between applying 2 sets of properties. simple method of doing accessing dom element’s offsetheight property [...] in fact, hack work in current chrome/firefox versions. updated code ( fiddle - click run after opening fiddle run animation again): var el = document.queryselector('div'...
